Re: [chuck-users] emacs, and other editors for chuck
Yay, lots of Emacs users! I'm currently, in my spare time, looking into integrating Emacs with ChucK to streamline (live) coding and experimentation. I have recently prototyped an Emacs minor mode that supports real-time text-mode sequencing (sending arbitrary OSC messages via realtime modified Emacs Lisp code) and have been hacking Emacs on and off since the early 90s. So, if anyone wants to express their needs for such a thing I'd be happy to consider converting them into implementable features. No promises, though, as my daylight job often consumes all my computer-centric energy. So far, I have determined a wish list including syntax highlighting, "intellisense" style completion, mode-line representation of ChucK's status, automatic shred/spork replacement, and minibuffer display of micro-documentation for classes/functions/syntax under the point. Any other input is welcome. Anthony. (Sometimes short bearded, often stubbled, no sandals)

Should you find the time to implement this (this sounds great!) and write a bit about how to use it for the interested Emacs newbie I'd be very interested in using such a system, yes. Yours, Kas.

"stubble" would more appropriately describe my facial hair status actually. ;-) I've been using the chuck-mode.el file which provides some syntax highlighting and indenting support, but it could definitely use some love. Steve
Talking of mouse / keyboard use in editors; I spend much of my time in
Eclipse (not writing ChucK). Along with lots of shortcuts this has the nice
feature that pressing Ctrl+3 brings up a dialog which will search through
menus, tab titles, deep inside preferences etc. as you type; so that can be
quite a quick way of getting to things with the keyboard without having to
memorise too many things.

No beard, probably explains why I use these trendy modern IDEs
